Sulfuron Ingot drop rate

Sulfuron Ingots are supposed to be a ~30% drop rate from Golemagg the Incinerator in Molten Core. At the moment, these ingots drop at an exceedingly low drop rate (seems easily below 1%). Please look into this matter.

I cannot post this bug on the public bug tracker for multiple reasons, so I am posting here.

Thank you.

Please include your source for the 30% and help out the IsVV team a little.

You're aware these databases are just numbers taken from Mangos and, while some may be accurate, some others may be complete bullshit and they can't be a seen as a reliable source by the staff, right?

I was not aware. I am a total noob when it comes to all of this. All I know is that Sulfuron Ingots are dropping at a rate which which is clearly too low. If you give me some sort of insight as to how I can find a reliable source and ascertain the true Blizzard vanilla drop rates for these ingots I will do the research.

To me it also feels the drop is way too low.

The earliest ''proof'' I could find is here: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Sulfuron_Ingot?oldid=279691

''The estimated droprate is 12%.''

It's from October 10, 2006. But below 10% should definitely not be right.

we had 5 but still need 11 more. at the current droprate we will soon have more Eyes in the raid than ingots.

I hope this is still being investigated and hopefully being fixed.

Our guild has seen 0 drops after doing a weekly, full MC clear since August.
